ALLEN: ‘I LACKED TENDER LOVING CARE AS A CHILD’
British pop star LILY ALLEN blames not receiving "tender loving care" as a child for her outspoken nature, The SMILE singer had to amuse herself while her actor father KEITH ALLEN and film producer mother ALISON OWEN were focused on their careers, but insists their absence boosted her emotional maturity.
She says, "I probably did lack the tender loving care that most kids get if their mum’s at home all the time. I suppose, all I wanted was for someone to give me a big hug but that never really came.
"(But) I’m very happy with myself. If I hadn’t had the upbringing I had, I wouldn’t be the person I am, so I’m grateful. I feel like I’ve dealt with a lot of emotional s**t people don’t deal with until their twenties or thirties and I am on my way of figuring out happiness."
